Photos: The Search for Jimmy Hoffa’s Body Continues

Local law authorities searched for Jimmy Hoffa’s body in a field in Oakland Township, Monday, June 17, 2013.
Jimmy Hoffa disappeared from a Detroit-area restaurant in 1975. Hoffa, who served time in prison for conspiracy and jury tampering, disappeared from the parking lot of the former Machus Red Fox restaurant in Bloomfield Township — a posh suburban community north of Detroit — after having dinner with two figures with ties to organized crime. He was eventually declared dead in 1982, but his remains were never found, sparking one of the great American mysteries of the past four decades.
Theories about his demise ranged from claims that he was buried under Giants Stadium in New Jersey or under the Renaissance Center in Detroit, to assertions that his remains could be found at a northern Michigan horse farm or that he was cremated in a trash incinerator.(AP)
